I know this is probably already posted somewhere, but I'm new and I have tried to find something answering this question, but I feel like a blind man trying to read a map. I just bought a T-Mobile S7 Edge off of a friend, because the touchscreen stopped working on my S6. I have been using a back up old flip phone for the past week, and when i tried to add the T-Mobile S7 Edge to my account, it cant find the phone via the IMEI. The phone is permanantly unlocked. I know that T-Mobile uses GSN, and Verizon CDMA, but from the things that I have found, it is possible to get it switched over. I just haven't figured out exactly how to do it though. The few things that I find don't really tell me exactly what I need to do. I currently have the SM-G395U build on the phone. Can someone please tell me what I need to do in order to switch m phone over? Or at least point me in the right direction please? The flippity-flip is making me want to shoot myself. You would be helping me out so much you have NO IDEA! PLEASE HELP!! Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section, but I felt this would be a good place to start.
Thanks in advance.

First off you're in the wrong section of this forum. The 8525 isn't the Kaiser or Tilt, it is the Hermes
Here you go this is where you should be http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=254
Hi everyone! First of all I would like to say thank you for this great forum, it has already given me a great deal of answers (even though there are probably more to come). I am pretty much a newbie with WM Phones, or actually phones in general, so bare with me. I have already used the search function but couldn't find anything about this specific topic, otherwise, pointing me into the right direction would be greatly appreciated:
So, my problem is that I live in Korea and use the SCH-M480 Phone, that is only available in South Korea. I will be traveling to Europe soon, so I was wondering, if I can use my cellphone there. I've found out that the SCH-M480 is using something called "CDMA" instead of GSM, but since most smart phones have triband or quadband, I was wondering whether or not that would mean that I can use this phone in Europe.
Thank you in advance for your answers and sorry for my noobishness ^_^
OK,
I could understand griping at me if I just came here saying "Hay guise! I'm too
lazy to spend any time doing research and finding out how to do this on my
ownz. Could somebody just spoonfeed me something they spent hours
learning how to do?"
If that were the case I would deserve much scorn and derision but perhaps
you might hear my explanation and perchance give me a little help.
I recently bought an HTC Vogue that was sold to the original buyer through
Sprint. I have Cricket. Since I previously had an account with Sprint I thought
I could set one up again but no, they turned me down, don't know exactly
why.
I was buying the phone to replace my Sanyo that was going off the deep end
and thought I would learn to unlock/flash the new one over to Cricket on my
own. Much time was spent joining forums, reading conflicting advice and
gnashing my teeth. Then, joy of joys, the Sanyo craters all together and I
now have no connectivity at all. To worsen matters my cell line is how I get
business, being a handyman and I many people are reluctant to hire someone
who doesn't answer their phone. So, much to my consternation, I desperately
need to get my Vogue working on the Cricket network. I have the Vogue's
ESN registered as the phone on my account now and the guy was kind
enough to provide me with the min, mdn and SID numbers when I went in
to do the changeover but that's all I gots.
I have seen too many pages of data telling me the alleged definitive way to
get not only my voice service working on Cricket, but text, SMS, web AND
GPS as well but I am reluctant to try any of them because I can ill afford to
buy another phone because I bricked this one. Nor do I want to pay someone
to do it for me when I know that given the right info, I can do it myself.
I know it is stupid to lose business because I want to flash my own phone but
surely many of you out there feel the same way.
Here's what I am asking. Can a few of you kindhearted folks point me to the
ultimate and definitive guide to getting all of my services working on the
Cricket network? I really have put in a lot of search time but all I can say for
certain is that I believe that xda Devs is the site that is my best shot.
I would be very grateful if someone could help, I have also seen evidence of
many people saying that Android is the way to go instead of WM but I have
no idea if I should just stay with Windows Mobile 6, upgrade to a newer one
or switch to Android much less if I should make a change before or after I
flash the phone to Cricket. Uggggghhh.
Please good sirs (and ladies?) thy help would be most fortuitous at this
juncture.
Thanks in advance,
Tex

It looks like I figured out that since the phone was an insurance
replacement that it has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it, that solves
one riddle for me.
I've seen very few guides to doing this..and most of them from rather untrustworthy sites.
Basically because I believe the same information can be used to CLONE a cell phone, stealing someone else's service.
I'm afraid that's not of much help to you, but I looked into it once before, and was told basically unless the provider was willing to program it for me, it would be very difficult to do.
You have to change the ESN to the one of the Sanyo... which is illegal afaik
I've tried to figure this out on my own on/off for a year with no luck. This is the first cell in years that I lost desire to screw around with ROM's but I'm getting that itch again.....with that said, I can't figure out which forum I need to go to so any help would be appreciated???
According to my cell info and the 'Genuine Galaxy' app, my S4 is a SCH-I545. I've done several searches and just can't find the right answer, anyone???
You have a Verizon S4. So naturally, you want the Verizon S4 forums.
Doh!
I'm such a boob, didn't realize there was a completely different forum for Vz....thanks man!
hello all, this is my first time here, although i am not a noobie to flashing phones, i need help finding information to get my phone flashed back to USCC using DFS cdma tool. It's easier just to start from the beginning. i bought a uscc s4 off ebay, and paid to have it flashed to page plus, it worked well for a while and then just died service wise after a couple months and page plus offered me nothing but problems so i cancelled my service with them and need to get back to uscc so i can just have everything back to normal. right now i am on the stock rom, version 4.4.2 ... to be honest, all i really am posting for is the information i need to use in DFS, i didint screenshot anything during the remote flash and i do not have any of the information i need in order to write to the phone and have it connect to uscc towers again. im not certain if im just stupid, and its something so obvious that noone posts about it anywhere, or if its something so complicated that noone has the information. either way, i really need my phone back, and even if this is so stupid to read that youre shaking your head please at least just respond and tell me about my stupidity and just give the answer, this is driving me nuts, i already put the original esn back however i dont know any of the other info for uscc. please help and thank you all for taking the time to help.
